What is Energy Deregulation?

Deregulation 101

A lot of activity goes on behind the scenes and by the time you're ready to flip the switch - several different entities have joined forces to provide your energy. Phrases like generation companies, utility, or retail supplier get thrown around and it can all seem a little complicated...

Okay, okay. A LOT complicated.

Here's the simple breakdown:

Generation Companies

The entities responsible for generating electricity or processing natural gas.

Retail Provider

Your retail supplier buys natural gas and electric power from wholesale markets. XOOM Energy is strategically aligned with one of the world's largest energy wholesalers, enabling us to buy energy on a competitive basis. We make all the arrangements for this energy to be delivered to your local utility using the most economical transport paths available. Whether it's across the country or across town, we handle all the details to make sure the energy shows up.

Utility Companies

Your local utility delivers your energy to your home or business, just as they always have. The means of distribution is the same, even if you are buying your energy from a retail supplier, like XOOM Energy. We're contracted by your local utility and we've integrated our system with theirs to make this a seamless, hassle-free operation. Bottom line, you enjoy uninterrupted energy service with the added benefit of being able to choose the products and plans you want.
